Remote, wild and unexplored

Scattered into small islands and cays harbouring sensational coral reefs, many of the Indian Ocean’s jewels remain largely untouched and little known. With powerful currents and a few submerged hazards to navigate, experienced skippers will relish the opportunity to conquer an ocean that offers so much to adventurers.

Beneath the surface, warm ocean temperatures and fantastic visibility make the Indian Ocean a favourite destination for divers, snorkellers and swimmers, while the region’s sport fishing is also considered among the best on the planet. Snorkelling and diving the coral reefs of the Seychelles reveals numerous tropical fish species as well as spectacular sights such as the gigantic whale shark, while on land, giant tortoises and coconut crabs are fairly common sights.

Our charter types

Choose from either bareboat charter or skippered charter holidays from our base in the beautiful Seychelles. Sail at your own pace on a bareboat charter and set your own schedule, or sit back and relax with the expert guidance and local recommendations of your own private skipper.

Bareboat charter holidays

Sail the beautiful Indian Ocean with only your curiosity to guide you, calling at the many small islands and cays of this beautiful region as you explore at your own pace. A bareboat charter holiday is the most liberating way to enjoy an Indian Ocean sailing holiday: just you, a beautiful yacht and the boundless ocean to discover.

Skippered charter holidays

Make your holiday as hands-on or as laid-back as you like on a skippered charter holiday, taking the helm to enjoy the thrilling blue water sailing of the Indian Ocean or sitting back and letting your skipper take control. Benefit from local recommendations you won’t find anywhere else as your skipper reveals the lesser-known highlights of this stunning region.
